ADVANCED COSTING AND MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING

A car engine manufacturer is trying to make an assessment of its operations for the past year. The
entity operates a standard marginal costing system and manufactures a state-of-the-art engine for
which the following standard revenue and cost data per unit of product is available:
Selling price $60.00
Direct material A 2.5 kg at $8.50 per kg
Direct material B 1.5 kg at $6.00 per kg
Direct labour 0.45 hrs. at $30.00 per hour
Actual data for the twelve-month period was as follows:
Sales and production 48,000 units of the blaster were produced and sold for $2,904,000
Direct material A 121,900 kg were used at a cost of $1,005,675
Direct material B 67,200 kg were used at a cost of $420,000
Direct labour Employees worked for 18,900 hours, but 19,200 hours were paid at a cost

of $585,600.

Budgeted sales for the period were 50,000 units of Product Blaster. A recession last year meant
that the market for the product declined by 5%.
Required:
(a) Calculate the following variances.
(i) Sales volume variance.

Answers

Answer 1

The Sales Volume Variance of the car manufacturer for the twelve-month period is $96,000.

What is the sales volume variance?

The sales volume variance measures the financial impact of not meeting or exceeding the budgeted sales for a period.

It can be computed by finding the difference between actual and budgeted sales quantities and then multiplied by the unit selling price.

Data and Calculations:

Budgeted sales units = 50,000

Actual sales units = 48,000

Sales price per unit = $60

Actual sales revenue = $2,904,000

Budgeted sales revenue = $3,000,000 ($60 x 50,000)

Sales volume variance = $96,000 ($3,000,000 - $2,904,000)

Thus, the Sales Volume Variance is $96,000.

Answers

Answer:

  y ≈ 15272.9(1.06306^x) . . . . from regression tool

  y = 15300(1.0624^x) . . . . calculated "by hand"

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential model is one that uses the exponential function ...

  f(x) = a·b^x

to model the data. The value of 'a' is the function value when x=0, the initial value. The value of 'b' is the growth factor, the multiplier between function values for successive values of x.

__

tool

An exponential regression tool makes short work of this. Such tools are available on some calculators, apps, and spreadsheets. All that is required is entering the data into a table and invoking the tool. The one shown in the attachment tells you the model is approximately ...

  y ≈ 15272.9(1.06306^x)

__

averaging

We can average the growth rate factors a couple of different ways. When we think of "averaging," we usually think of the arithmetic mean, the sum of values divided by their number. If we average the growth rates in this way, we get ...

  average rate of growth =

  ((161/153) +(173/161) +(184/173) +(196/184) +(207/196) +(220/207))/6 ≈ 1.0624

Using the first table value as the initial value, the model formed this way is ...

  y = 15300(1.0624^x)

__

For exponential growth it may make more sense to compute the geometric mean. This is the n-th root of the product of n numbers. In this case, it reduces to the 6-th root of the ratio of the last to the first:

  average rate of growth = (220/153)^(1/6) ≈ 1.0624

This gives the same growth factor as above, hence the same model.

The second attachment shows the application of this model to the domain used in the table. We see there are some minor differences when rounding the function value to the nearest hundred.

The differences in our two models seem to arise from rounding the data values in the table to the nearest hundred.

__

summary

The values given in the table can be used in different ways to arrive at two similar, but different exponential models of the table data:

y = 15272.9(1.06306^x)y = 15300(1.0624^x)

Interestingly, the function calculated "by hand" has a very slightly better correlation with the table data. The difference in correlation coefficients is in the 6th decimal place.

Answer:

Part A: Since 400 is being multiplied 1.06^t, for it to be equal to 399 the value 1.06^t must be less than 1. The lowest value for t given the domain restriction is 0 which would only result in 1 which will given the initial amount of 400. t would need to be less than 0 for 1.06^t to start going below the value 1 but since there is a domain restriction since t represents time, that value cannot go below 400 to reach 399.

68% of the day's sales will be between 87.23 and 96.57 and on 95% of the days, sales will be between 82.56 and 101.24.

What is the empirical rule?

If your distribution follows a normal distribution, the standard deviation and mean can tell you where the majority of the data are.

We have:

The mean number of sandwiches sold per day is 91.9 and the standard deviation is 4.67.

As we know, from the empirical rule, 68% of the data will lie in one standard deviation of the mean, i.e., in the interval with the endpoints x±s

for samples and with endpoints u±б for the population.

x = 91.9

s = 4.67

x - s = 91.9 - 4.67 = 87.23

x + s = 91.9 + 4.67 = 96.57

68% of the day's sales will be between 87.23 and 96.57

95% of the data will lie within two standard deviations of the mean, which means in the interval with the endpoints  x±2s for samples and with endpoints  u±б population.

x - 2s = 82.56

x + 2s = 101.24

On 95% of the days, sales will be between 82.56 and 101.24

Thus, 68% of the day's sales will be between 87.23 and 96.57 and on 95% of the days, sales will be between 82.56 and 101.24.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

because the shape of the graph has not changed, we know that there was no direct change to x

(this would have looked like 2x³ instead of x³)

and because the graph was not shifted along the x-axis (left or right), we know that the change did not happen inside the parenthesis

(this would have looked like (x³ - 3) instead of (x³) )

we know that the only change that has happened to this graph was a downward shift along the y-axis  which can be expressed as

g(x) = x³ - 2

The equation of the red graph will be g(x) = x³ - 2.Option B is correct.

What is the equation?

A mathematical statement consisting of an equal symbol between two algebraic expressions with the same value is known as an equation.

We know that there was no immediate change to x since the graph's form has not altered. Instead of , this would have appeared as 2x³.

Thus we can be confident that the change did not occur inside the parenthesis since the graph was not moved down the x-axis.

We may infer that this graph's sole modification was a downward shift along the y-axis, which is written as;

g(x) = x³ - 2

To find :-

Length of the hypotenuse

Solution :-

Using Pythagorean Theorem;

(hypotenuse)² = (8)² + (10)²

= 64 + 100

hypotenuse = √164

= 12.8 units

Answer:

12.80

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to use the Pythagoras theorem to find the value of the hypotenuse.

Let the value of the hypotenuse be c.

Let us use the below formula to find the length of the hypotenuse.

a² + b² = c²

First, let us replace a and b with 8 and 10 ( the lengths of the legs of the right triangle) with a and b.

a² + b² = c²

8² + 10² = c²

64 + 100 = c²

And now let us solve the above and find the value of c.

164 = c²

√164 = c

12.80 = c

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is:

Jordan wrote the expression 850p to represent the following scenario.

The cost of renting a bowling alley for a party is $850. The price per person depends on how many people attend the party. Write an expression for the price per person if p people attend.

Explain why Jordan's expression is incorrect. Provide the correct expression that represents the scenario.

Answers

Using proportions, the expression for the price per person is:

[tex]P = \frac{850}{p}[/tex]

Jordan's expression is wrong because the price per person is inverse proportional to the number of people in the party, not direct proportional.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The cost of renting a bowling alley for a party is $850, hence the cost per person is given by:

[tex]P = \frac{850}{p}[/tex]

Jordan's expression is wrong because the price per person is inverse proportional(that is, the amount is divided by p) to the number of people in the party, not direct proportional.

A decision at the margin Crystal is a hard-working college senior. One Thursday, she decides to work nonstop until she has answered 100 practice problems for her math course. She starts work at 8:00 AM and uses a table to keep track of her progress throughout the day. She notices that as she gets tired, it takes her longer to solve each problem. Time Total Problems Answered 8:00 AM 0 9:00 AM 40 10:00 AM 70 11:00 AM 90 Noon 100 Use the table to answer the following questions. The marginal, or additional, gain from Crystal’s first hour of work, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, is problems. The marginal gain from Crystal’s third hour of work, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, is problems. Later, the teaching assistant in Crystal’s math course gives her some advice. “Based on past experience,” the teaching assistant says, “working on 35 problems raises a student’s exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for 1 hour.” For simplicity, assume students always cover the same number of pages during each hour they spend reading. Given this information, in order to use her 4 hours of study time to get the best exam score possible, how many hours should she have spent working on problems, and how many should she have spent reading? 0 hours working on problems, 4 hours reading 1 hour working on problems, 3 hours reading 3 hours working on problems, 1 hour reading 4 hours working on problems, 0 hours reading

Answers

She should spend 1 hour working on problems , 3 hour reading , Option B is the right answer.

What is Margin gain ?

The gain of the desired effect with respect to the previous gain is called margin gain

The marginal gain from 8:00 am to 9:00 am is

(40-0) = 40 problems

The marginal gain from 9:00 am to 10:00 am is

= 70-40 = 30 problems

The marginal gain from 10:00 am to 11:00 am is

(90-70) = 20 problems

As if she does more than one hour of problem solving her productivity decreases to 30 which is less than 1 hour of reading textbook

Therefore she should not spend more than 1 hour on problem solving.

Therefore Option B is the right answer.

1 hour working on problems , 3 hour reading

Part B
Assume the statement is true for n=k. Prove that it must be true for n=k+1, therefore proving it true for all natural
numbers, n.
Hint: Since the total number of dots increases by n each time, prove that d (k) + (k+1)=d (k+ 1).

Answers

The inductive step is assuming that the statement is true for some  n = k , where  k  is one of the values we want to prove the statement for, it shows that it is also true for  n = k+1.

How to carry out Mathematical Induction?

Suppose we have the statement 3n > 4n for all positive integers  n.

Now, the statement above is false when n = 1 , since 3 is less than 4. However, it will be true for all other positive integers.

In that case, we can still prove this statement by induction for all integers  n ≥ 2 .

Thus, the inductive step is assuming that the statement is true for some  n = k , where  k  is one of the values we want to prove the statement for, it shows that it is also true for  n = k+1.

Given the function f(x) = -5|x + 1| + 3, for what values of x is f(x) = -12? O X= -2. x = 1 O x= -2 x = 4 O x = 2. x = 4 O x = 2, x = 4

Answers

The values are x= -2 and x =4 of the given function f (x) =-5|x+1| +3

What is function?

Function is an expression, rule, or law that defines a relationship between one variable (the independent variable) and another variable (the dependent variable).

According to the question,

The given function is

[tex]f(x) = -5|x + 1| + 3[/tex]

Here f(x) = -12

Substitute f(x) and solve for x

[tex]- 12 = -5|x + 1| + 3[/tex]

By subtracting 3 on both sides

[tex]- 12 - 3 = -5|x + 1| + 3 - 3[/tex]

[tex]- 15 = -5|x + 1|[/tex]

By dividing -5 on both sides

[tex]3 = |x + 1|[/tex]

We get absolute values for the function.

[tex]x + 1 = 3 , x + 1 = -3[/tex]

By subtracting 1 on both sides

[tex]x + 1 - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2\\\\x + 1 - 1 = - 3 - 1 = -4\\\\x = 2 , x = - 4[/tex]

Therefore, the values of x are 2 and - 4 of the given function f (x) =-5|x+1| +3
